"A person walking their dog found him 'hog-tied,' picked him up and brought to CWR," Jennifer Gordon, the executive director of the rescue shelter, told"We have been told that iguanas are sold at the flea market and their legs are hog-tied."on October 19 with images of the tragic injuries, writing:"This green iguana was found by someone's dog with its arms tied behind their back.

"It is going to take a lot of rehabilitation and eventually we hope to get him adopted," said Gordon."They are not wild animals [and] they are considered invasive. Therefore, they have to be kept as pets."After being shared to Facebook, the iguana's story was met with reactions of shock and disappointment online."The more I see stuff that 'people' do. The more I like the animals," commented one user.
